Dzok Trun Trun (born 1964) (Dzongkha: བོ་ཡིག་ག། །མ་རྫོང) is a Bhutanese writer and notable literary scholar. He is a frequent speaker in the Royal University of Bhutan, addressing social issues such as Gross National Happiness and Buddhism, as well as a noted government advisor to the cabinet of Bhutanese prime minister Jigme Thinley.[1] Dzok Trun Trun was a recipient of the Royal Order of Bhutan in a small ceremony within the Dechencholing Palace complex in January 2013.[2]
Swollen Swallow, Green Tea Leaf, published in 2009, is his first novel.[3] This novel deals with the rapid change of infrastructure and opening up of Bhutan to the western world and rural peoples outside of the capital of Thimphu who seem oblivious to what is happening. This novel has been championed by the Dzongkha Development Commission who labelled the novel 'Bhutan Novel of the Year- Silver Award 2009'.[4] The works of Dzok Trun Trun have not been published in English, but only in Dzongkha and Tibetan.
